Hispanic era
:)
Calumpit was already an established “barangay” under the leadership of Gat Maitim prior to Spanish contact.
The defeat of Rajah Soliman at the Battle of Bangkusay Channel paved the way for the Spaniards to establish their government in Manila. News reached the Spanish authorities that there was a progressive community located several miles north of Manila. Through the order of Fr. Martin de Bada, a group of Augustinian missionaries headed by Father Diego Vivar Ordoñez was sent to look for the said place. In 1572, they set foot at the riverbank of barangay Meyto, armed with a cross. They proceeded to Christianize the area and establish a government with Marcos de Arce as the first Alcalde Mayor of Calumpit. However, it was only in 1575 that the King of Spain officially recognized Calumpit. It was therefore the first town established in the Province of Bulacan. The Augustinian friars were the first Christian missionaries to Calumpit and acted in some capacity as government officials, which continued for almost three centuries.
[edit]Philippine Revolution of 1896
During the Philippine Revolution in 1896, the people of Calumpit participated in the battles launched by the Katipuneros against Spain, the town becoming the headquarters of General Luna in 1898. In the bloody encounters at barrio Bagbag on April 25, 1899, the people bravely joined the army of General Luna.
The civil government under the Philippines was established in Calumpit in April 1901 with Juan Galang as the first elected mayor of the town.
[edit]American era and World War II
Calumpit played an important role at the outbreak of the War in the Pacific theater. The bridge of Calumpit, on the way to Bataan was demolished by the Engineering Battalion of the U.S., impeding movement of the Japanese forces on their way to Bataan. In January 1942, the Japanese Government occupied Calumpit for three years. Many distinguished citizens of Calumpit died during the war.
In the middle of 1943, the first part of the USAFFE guerrilla was established under the leadership of Luis Macam, with most of the members from Calumpit.
In June 1944, the 4th Battalion of the Del Pilar Regiment was established under the leadership of Major Francisco del Rosario, they continued fighting until the returned of the USAFFE under the leadership of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
In January 1945, the combined Filipino and American forces arrived in the town, liberating it from the Japanese forces.
